...extent of the censorship was the brief announcement last week that Great Britain had sent 200 additional censors to its sunny Atlantic playground. Bedded in the tourist-barren Bermudiana Hotel, the new arrivals faced a prodigious job in catching up on the volume of accumulated U. S mail. Tons of it had piled up since last August when all American Export Line ships-although not allowed to carry passengers to or from Bermuda-had been going over 400 miles out of their way to allow Bermuda stevedores to come aboard and take off mailbags. There was also a great accumulation...
Sprawling over the top of Mt. Titano in northeastern Italy, only 30 miles from Predappio, where Benito Mussolini was born more years ago than he likes to have recalled,* San Marino has 38 square miles of tourist-delighting quaintness and scenery, 14,500 inhabitants who love to give away honorary citizenship to rich Americans.

Though Sarazen wears custom-made silk shirts and gold cuff links, Porky spurns a tie ("only dudes wear ties''). To satisfy his enormous appetite, he often takes hamburgers along in his golf bag to keep from "starving" during a match. When he won his first big-time tournament last winter, he gave his kid brother $5 to buy all the ice-cream sodas he could...
...Samaria when she steamed into New York Harbor were 138 British children, tagged, labeled, carrying knapsacks, duffle bags, copies of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, gas-mask containers crammed with tuppenny treasures, dolls, souvenirs. Reporters and officials who boarded the Samaria at Quarantine found the refugees assembled on the tourist-class afterdeck. While they gazed at the skyline of Manhattan, they were singing There'll Always Be an England...
